Description

Alan Forrest (born 9 September 1996) is a Scottish footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Scottish Premiership club Heart of Midlothian. He began his career at Ayr United, coming through the academy and making 245 appearances for The Honest Men. He would then spend two seasons with Scottish Premiership side Livingston.

He is the younger brother of Celtic and Scotland winger James Forrest; their sister Lisa is also a footballer.

Forrest made his debut for Ayr United in a Scottish Challenge Cup match against Queen's Park. He came off the bench to score an 89th-minute winner at Hampden Park. With this goal Forrest became Ayr's youngest ever goalscorer aged 16 years, 321 days. During the 2019–20 Scottish Championship season after scoring five goals in three league games Forrest was awarded the Scottish Championship Player of the Month for September.

Forrest signed a pre-contract deal with Livingston on 10 April 2020, making the jump from the Scottish Championship to the Scottish Premiership. Forrest made his debut for Livingston on the opening day of the 2020–21 Scottish Premiership season in a 1–0 loss against St Mirren at St Mirren Park. He scored his first goal for Livingston in a 2–2 draw against Motherwell on 12 August 2020, at Fir Park.

On 1 June 2022, it was announced that Forrest would join Scottish Premiership side Heart of Midlothian following the expiry of his Livingston contract on 10 June as a free agent on a two-year deal. On 19 January 2024, he signed a 2 year extension to his contract until 2026.

In 2016, Forrest made his debut for the Scotland under-21 team in a friendly against Slovakia.
